The horror in Going Under comes from the biting satire of late-stage tech-startup capitalism in a VC-funded world, with nods to anyone who's worked in a knowledge worker / IT-related role.</p><p>The game starts with your first day as an -unpaid- intern (because of course it does), watching an introductory video about your new workplace, a recently acquired subsidiary ("Fizzer") of a multi-national conglomerate ("Cubicle"). </p><p>You've been assigned to Fizzer by the company's AI (of course), and just as the video gets to the explanation of why no Cubicle employee should never enter the dungeons underneath the Fizzer office, your Project Manager boss assigns you to enter the dungeons underneath the Fizzer office to kill the "monsters" that are invading.</p><p>The dungeons themselves, and the monsters, are previously acquired start-ups, with names like "Joblin" (a gig worker app), and "Winkydink" (a dating app).</p><p>Between the roguelite elements and the quests to build up rep with your "mentors", Going Under really nails that "just one more run" feel.</p><p>Going Under is:</p><p>5: Excellent</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/GoingUnder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GoingUnder</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Roguelite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Roguelite</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/DungeonCrawler" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DungeonCrawler</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/StartUp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>StartUp</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/MastodonGaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MastodonGaming</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Gaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Gaming</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Project365ONG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Project365ONG</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Project365" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Project365</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/NewPlay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NewPlay</span></a></p>
